The snow is outside and gale winds are blowing. Nothing better than consoling yourself with thoughts of Spring. After all it REALLY is just around the corner.

With Berlin Fashion Week happening this week I felt it perfect timing to talk about Spring trends. January Berlin Fashion Week largely features collections for next Winter but there was still plenty of Spring inspiration at the Panorma Messe.

3. The Trench

So it’s a classic but even classic’s come and go off the HOT list when it comes to fashion trends. This year the classic camel trench is super HOT. The good thing is it doesn’t matter how long or short. Provided it’s a camel trench it is HOT!

4. Blue and White striped tops

An easy trend really as most high street stores already had these in store last year. You probably have one in your wardrobe already. Look out for special features like the embroidered flowers, bobbles and elasticated neckline. I love wearing these now under a black blazer. Giving that Spring feeling in the middle of Winter.

5. Black Floral Patterns

Guess I don’t need to stop preaching that florals are here to stay a little longer. Everyone thinks they are just a phase but believe me it’s a pretty long term phase for now. Spring 2018 sees an emphasis on black fabric with floral prints.

Hey Yvonne. Thanks for the update. I am very happy with the 5th trend you have spotted, since I have just bought another (Yeah, I know) floral dress: a black floral one! Double happy now. Have a fantastic weekend. Love, Lieske
